Apple Rebrands iTunes Podcasts as 'Apple Podcasts'

[unplugme71]

From what I'm seeing is Apple is rebranding everything existing and using Apple x as the new naming convention for new products that were recently released.

Apple Watch
Apple Pen
Apple Music
Apple Podcasts
Apple TV

I'm going to guess, Apple Phone is next and Apple Tablet. Anything iSOMETHING is gone.

I'm wondering if iCloud is going to be renamed as well. Apple Cloud or something

I'm waiting for the day iTunes on the Mac is renamed to "Music". I believe that day is coming too.

Not looking forward to the dumbing down of an application that has so far mostly met my needs and the way I organize my stuff.

Also, hooray for 3 icons in the Dock instead of 1.

#2 what do you think errands are, and how would a new car eliminate them?

What do you think errands are? Almost all of them are nothing more than moving an item from one place to another.

Pick up/drop off the kids. Fully autonomous car can do it itself.
Shopping. Becomes something more like ordering a pizza for pickup - you order the items online, send your car to the store, and the employees (possibly robots in the future, but probably humans initially) load up your car for you.
Shipping a package. Your car takes the package to the drop off spot. Or maybe delivers it directly where you want it to go, if it's not too far away.

I think that day will come. Apple has gradually begun to purge "i" from their device names. I can see the iMac simply get renamed the Mac.

The purging is certainly ongoing, but it certainly appears to be mostly new product lines. I doubt iMac, iPhone, or iPad names will be going anywhere anytime soon. However, iMac would probably be the most likely to change.

Would be interesting to see how iTunes' constituents of "Music, Video, Podcasts, Audiobook, Virtual University, and iDevice Manager" would manifest on the Windows side – with the increased testing efforts and likelyhood of bugs that it implies.

Perhaps. But it would be breaking it up into several parts with only one of them being called "music".

It kind of already is the Apple iPhone... it would have to become the "Apple Phone"

I can see iTunes being ditched as a name in conjunction with a general reimagining of the app which has become bloated and changed little in almost 2 decades.

However iPhone and iPad as names transcend the "Apple XXXX" naming convention and will stay, I think.

I think they'd probably just keep iTunes on window and possibly slowly phase it out. iPods are virtually dead and iPhones don't really need iTunes anyway.

Yeah the name iTunes hasn't made sense for years.

I think a more likely name is "Apple Media" or simply "Media", to cover the gamut of stuff it does these days.
